Chapter 150 The truth is confusing
Ruan Jianan, the stranger, and Lin Yu hid in the secret room, not daring to make a sound. The footsteps outside were getting closer and closer, and every step seemed to be stepping on their hearts.
Ruan Jianan pressed himself against the wall, his ears perked up, trying to catch every movement outside. His heartbeat quickened rapidly, beads of sweat kept rolling down his forehead, and his eyes were filled with tension and anxiety. His fingers unconsciously scratched the wall, as if this would make him feel a little more at ease.
The stranger squatted in the corner, holding his head in his hands, his body trembling slightly. His lips were tightly closed, and his teeth were clenched, revealing his inner fear. His eyes were tightly closed, and he kept muttering to himself: "What should I do? What should I do?"
Lin Yu stood at the door, listening attentively, with a serious and solemn expression. His fingers rested lightly on the door handle, ready to respond to any emergency at any time. His brows were furrowed, and his eyes revealed determination and courage.
Suddenly, the footsteps stopped at the door. The atmosphere in the room froze instantly, as if even the air had stopped flowing.
Ruan Jianan's breathing became more and more rapid, his eyes fixed on the door, his heart filled with unknown fear. He could feel his throat dry, and it was very difficult to swallow a mouthful of saliva.
The stranger's body trembled even more violently, and his eyes were full of despair. "Are we done?" he asked in a trembling voice.
Lin Yu made a gesture of silence, indicating them to keep quiet.
Just then, a low conversation sounded outside. The voice was unclear and confusing.
Ruan Jianan's heart was in his throat. He tried to calm himself down and thought about how to deal with it if he was discovered. He looked around the room, looking for anything that could be used as a weapon.
The stranger had completely lost his mind at this point. He suddenly stood up and tried to rush to the door. "No, I can't stand it anymore. I want to get out!"
Lin Yu grabbed him and said, "Calm down! You'll kill all of us!"
The stranger was pulled by Lin Yu and fell to the ground again, and he began to sob.
Ruan Jianan lowered his voice and said, "Don't panic, we will definitely find a way."
Lin Yu nodded, "Yes, let's listen to what they are saying first."
They tried hard to listen to the sounds outside, but still couldn't hear the specific content.
Time passed by minute by minute, and every second seemed as long as a year to them.
Various possible situations kept flashing through Ruan Jianan's mind, and he prayed silently in his heart that he would not be discovered.
Suddenly, the footsteps sounded again and gradually faded away.
Ruan Jianan breathed a sigh of relief and slumped down on the ground. "It seems he's gone."
Lin Yu remained alert, "Don't relax yet, maybe this is their plan."
Sure enough, not long after, the footsteps returned.
This time, there was also the sound of objects colliding, as if something was being moved.
Ruan Jianan and others were worried again.
The stranger was completely broken. "It's over. It's over. It's really over this time."
Lin Yu glared at him and said, "Shut up!"
Ruan Jianan took a deep breath and said, "No matter what, we can't just sit there and wait for death."
Lin Yu: "If they come in, we will fight."
Ruan Jianan nodded, his eyes full of determination.
Just as they were preparing to fight to the death, shouts suddenly came from outside.
"It's on fire! It's on fire!"
The footsteps suddenly became chaotic, and it seemed that everyone was running towards the direction of the fire.
Lin Yu opened the door and looked out carefully. "It seems to be on fire. Let's leave now."
They quietly walked out of the room, trying not to make any noise.
The corridor was filled with smoke and the vision became blurry.
Ruan Jianan covered his mouth and nose, "Be careful, follow me."
As they groped their way forward, they suddenly heard a cough.
"Who?" Lin Yu asked nervously.
A figure walked out from the smoke, it was Lin Yanan.
"Yanan, why are you here?" Ruan Jianan asked in surprise.
Lin Yanan panted, "I was worried about you, so I came to check on you."
"It's too dangerous here, let's go." Ruan Jianan pulled Lin Yanan.
They ran towards the exit, but falling objects kept blocking their way.
Finally, they ran out of the building.
But the situation outside is not optimistic either, with chaotic crowds everywhere.
